Your Style 096 - October 2020

Burgundy or Maroon?

Burgundy or Maroon - do you know which is which? And how to distinguish between Warm and Cool shades? 

Burgundy is a beautiful cold weather color and a very popular fashion shade.

As with all colors you'll see lots of different shades all calling themselves 'burgundy' and we use the word very loosely to cover many deep rich shades.

Now I didn't set out to see how many ways I could combine Burgundy - but the ideas and images ran away with me!

The way you perceive color combinations is dependent on your own personal taste. What you consider works will depend on your Style Personality.

I'm showing you lots of delicious color combinations from some of my favorite Style Bloggers, you'll never be stuck for inspiration again.

All wrapped up for Fall

Get wrapped up for Autumn with a simple and stylish coverup poncho or cape. 

The Seasons are changing and the cold mornings will start creeping up quickly. But you don't need to change your daily 'uniform' dramatically you just need a coverup with flexibility!

Color Analysis Deep

I hear quite often from ladies with strong coloring who struggle to determine whether they are Warm or Cool. In other  words you're trying to decide between Autumn and Winter.

But some people actually have elements of both Warm and Cool. It means that undertone is not the most important factor in your coloring.  

Take a look at the Deep Color Family, it might be for YOU?

Slim the Petite Pear

A good fit holds the key to a Petite Pear Shape looking her best. 

The Pear shaped body type is defined by bone structure; the hip and thigh area is wider than the shoulders and it's also the area that carries any excess weight.

With shorter legs your hips (and any extra weight) are closer to the ground. This visually widens the area even more.

This is a 10 out of 10 recipe. It's warm, comforting and something a bit different as it includes chickpeas. Quick, easy and it freezes like a dream.

It's actually called Ras-El-Hanout Chicken (but I keep forgetting how to spell it) from one of my favorite websites www.pinchofnom.com.
